Jingshi, Xizhi Gate, the city gate is closed.

Under the castle tower, a luxury carriage was parked not far from the moat, and more than a dozen knights who looked like followers were guarding the surroundings, and another leading horseman stood at the city gate near the moat, shouting loudly.

"Listen, the people on the city tower will warn you one last time, this is the car of Zhang Ge, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace and an assistant minister of Gu Ming! Zhang Ge Lao suffered from heat stroke because of the emperor's mountain mausoleum, this time he came back for medical treatment, and he didn't open the city gate again, in case the old man had a case, and he would count one as one, and all of them would be punished severely! ”

On the city tower, a junior colonel who was about thirty years old snorted coldly, and also replied loudly, "The national dynasty has its own regulations, unless there are police at the border, the gate of the capital division shall not be opened at night!" said that it was Zhang Ge Lao, that is, the Holy Father came to call the door, and the general would not dare to mess up the court system and open the door for you! ”

"You!" The knight who called the gate was furious, and he couldn't wait to jump on the gate and slap the colonel to death.

But no matter how angry you are, the gate of Jingshi is so majestic, and the moat is so wide, let alone jumping up, even if you stand here and shoot arrows, you can't reach that guy at all.

"Okay, good, you wait, there will be your good-looking!"

Leaving a cruel sentence, the knight turned his horse's head angrily, ran to the front of the car, and reported with shame and anger on his face: "Master, this captain of the city gate has eaten the scales and has an iron heart, no matter what he says, he just refuses to open the door, please ask the master to condemn." ”

Zhang Ju in the carriage was already pale, but now it is even more ugly, and after thinking about it, he said, "Go south and go to Fuchengmen to have a look." ”

The knight seemed to have lost his confidence, and persuaded: "Master, it's not a small matter, let's go to Desheng Gate first, and then we turned to Andingmen, and we were stopped again, and now Xizhimen is also stopped, and the small ones are afraid that it is useless to go to Fuchengmen, tonight, these idiots of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are only afraid that their brains are all broken!" ”

"All of them?" Zhang Juzheng muttered, his face became even paler, and he suddenly lifted the curtain of the car, lifted his robe, and was about to get out of the car.

The knight was taken aback, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and hurriedly said, "Master, you are in a coma from heat stroke, this is reported to the emperor!" ”

The implication of this sentence is very simple, as soon as you get out of the car and leave, you will be suspected of bullying the king.

But Zhang Juzheng turned a deaf ear, gently pushed away the knight's hand, and said, "It's okay, after tonight, the cabinet may not care if there is one more crime of bullying the king." ”

The knight was taken aback, looked at Zhang Juzheng, who had slowly gotten out of the car, in disbelief, and asked a little nervously, "Why did the master say that?" You're a subordinate to your life. ”

Zhang Juzheng didn't answer, and even his face was very calm, just because he had some heat stroke before and suffered a whole day of turbulence, and his face was indeed a little sick now.

"Help me come up and take a look." Zhang Juzheng is a person who pays great attention to manners, and he can even open his mouth to let people support him, which can only show that his body is really difficult to support at the moment. After all, no matter how luxurious the carriage of this era is, there is no good shock absorbing device, and he made the carriage rush back with the strength of heat stroke, and he has already been so turbulent that his internal organs are almost vomited.

The knight didn't dare to slack off, so he could only help Zhang Juzheng to come forward to check.

Zhang Juzheng's eyesight was relatively average, and he didn't see the situation on the city tower until he walked to the moat.

But he didn't look at it closely, just looked at it for a while, and then sighed, as if talking to himself, "It's still too late, can we see tonight?" How can it be so fast? ”

The knight couldn't help but ask, "Master, what are you talking about?" ”

Zhang Juzheng had already turned around at this time, slowly walked back towards the carriage, and said in a cold tone, "Can't you see the difference between this city tower and usual?" ”

When the knight heard this, he subconsciously looked back and looked again, and hesitated, "It doesn't seem to be very different, it's, it's, uh, it seems to be a little more than usual?" ”

"Huh." Zhang Juzheng "laughed" without a tone, and said lightly, "The torches are dense, the sentry posts are neat, and the dignified commander makes the envoy go to the city tower to sit in the town, if in ordinary times, they will only be so nervous if the captives are approaching the Beijing division." ”

The knight's mouth opened wide, his face full of disbelief, "I haven't heard that there are captives riding into the Kou?" Now even I have called the minister Nagong, and there is Qi Zongrong in Jizhen Town, and it is impossible for the Mongolian left and right banners to enter the Kou now. ”

"Riding into the Kou?" Zhang Juzheng sneered, and said mockingly, "In the eyes of some people, this cabinet department is probably much higher than the threat of captive cavalry, speaking of which, I should really say thank you to them." ”

The knight was dumbfounded.

At the same time, the guards above the Xizhimen Tower also breathed a sigh of relief. Then he hurriedly turned down the city tower, walked to a corner, and bowed directly to a scribe in his thirties on one knee, and said respectfully, "Wu Zhangke, the matter is done." ”

The scribe known as Wu Zhangke unceremoniously accepted the salute from the guard, who was dressed in the costume of a commanding envoy, and said with a slight bow, "Yes, you have done a good job, the imperial court has its own ancestral law, no matter who it is, there must be no exception." Then he paused, and said, "You can not be afraid of power and stick to principles, although it is the duty of a general, it is also rare." Well, in this year's evaluation, according to Ben Guan's thoughts, you should be able to get a good one. ”

The guard said in his heart, you are also a power!

However, his face was full of smiles, and he replied in a grateful tone: "Little one, thank you Wu Zhangke for your care." ”

Wu Zhangke didn't tell him to get up, but asked again, "Oh, by the way, where are they going this time?" Is it Fuchengmen? ”

The guard said respectfully, "Good to teach Wu Zhangke, I learned that they don't seem to have any intention of leaving, so they will stop outside the city gate now." ”

"Not leaving?" Wu Zhangke showed a hint of joy, but his tone was still quite reserved, nodded, and ordered, "Very good, since they don't leave, we can't leave either, just watch the city tower here tonight." ”

The guard general was extremely surprised, and was stunned for a moment before asking, "Why don't we leave?" So, if they make up their minds to sleep outside the city, we're going to keep an eye on them all night? ”

Wu Zhangke narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the commander, "What, Commander Han can't stand it?" Or is there something else going on? ”

Commander Han was taken aback, and hurriedly showed a flattering look, explaining, "Wu Zhangke said with a smile, today is a small person on duty, and he should have stayed here all night, where will there be anything else, but, Wu Zhangke, your status is precious, and the small one here is very simple, so I am afraid that I will neglect Zhangke." ”

Wu Zhangke laughed, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's tell you the truth, as long as you keep an eye on this person outside the city tonight, you will be the best in this year's evaluation, and you will be the official." ”

Commander Han was patted on the shoulder by him, his face was flattered, and his smile was even more stammering, "That little one, congratulations in advance to Wu Zhangke for going further!" ”

Wu Zhangke laughed, and said in his heart that with today's merit, the little junior brother should be able to help me say a few kind words in front of Enxiang, right? I'm in the middle of the military department, and it's time to change it to the middle of the matter!
